Biography
Yinis Shehadeh was born in Algiers, French North Africa to a Sunni Muslim Berber family. He joined the FLN during the Algerian independence struggle in the 1950s, and on 20 July 1956 he was tasked with assassinating the French policeman Dimitri Cazenave. He pretended that he was going to the beach, bypassing the policeman; he later reached into a wastebasket on a tree and retrieved a pistol, shooting the policeman three times in the back as he entered his car.
